Improved Calculations Concerning the Ignition of Forest Litter by Hot Particle Ingress

PREVIOUS PAPERS [1,2] made use of hot spot theory to predict the effect of inert or reactive particle entry into forest materials for which kinetic parameters of oxidation, thermal diffusivities and other necessary quantities had previously been determined. Retaining the terminology and notation of the previous work, the critical value of the parameter 6 and the dimensionless temperature 0, were linked by:
